A wonderful visit with Adiyogi.

We are Bhairavi and Michael, and we spend most of our time in Bharat (India). We lead personally tailored sojourns, yatras and retreats all across India. The intention to take people on these journeys with us is not only an opportunity to share the sights, sounds and landscapes of this most ancient and vast land, it is also an effort to provide ourselves, and others who wish to join us, the opportunity to deepen personal practices, participate in rituals, ancient teachings and spiritual paths.

In these days of quarantine, we have found the time to create the Bharat and Beyond pages on Instagram and Facebook, as well as begin to build out this website, which will be an ever-evolving work in progress. We will also be offering AirBnB Experiences, such as "Virtual Tours of India."

In these ways, we will begin to share our experiences, as well as the experiences of those who have already joined us on our bespoke sojourns and yatras; and as a platform to begin planning future events, with your input. If you would like to discuss joining us in India, after it is safe to do so, feel free to reach out to us at bharatandbeyond@gmail.com

The current lockdown provides all of us adequate time to further our understanding of India as an epicenter of spirituality, but also go deeper into our yogic, or other spiritual practices. It is the time to strengthen our physical bodies and immunity through the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and yoga.


To this end, we are providing sangha gatherings via Zoom.us. Please join us for a bit of movement, meditation and mindfulness coupled with an important topic for each day. 

As a lifelong student and practitioner, Bhairavi is available to all levels of students and other practitioners, to share her knowledge on Ayurveda, and all of the eight limbs of Yoga. Bhairavi is also teaching Ayurvedic cooking online, offering healthy recipes to groups, as well as doshically-balanced recipes for individuals. Michael is available to open the door to meditation for those who are either just beginning, prefer guided meditations, or chanting, either one-on-one, or in groups.

Bhairavi and Michael are both available in either group, or one-on-one format, via Zoom; WhatsApp, or Skype, from their base in India, or wherever their travels take them.

Please join our Sangha (family), simply by sending us an email, to receive emails for upcoming events.

Aum Namah Shivaya!
